The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of the specification. The invention, however, may best be understood by reference to the following detailed description of various embodiments and the accompanying drawings in which:
In one aspect, the present invention is directed to portable prescription bottle storage units and medical organizer cases. For example, in a prescription bottle storage unit, a plurality of prescription bottles may lie horizontally so that a person can easily read a label on a side of the bottle identifying the type of medication in the bottle. The medical organizer case may provide organization and a place for vital medical information and other medical items in one convenient location. In addition, the prescription bottle storage unit may be placed in the medical organizer case. Advantageously, a person may take the unit and case with him or her to a hospital in case of an emergency, to a doctor visit, or on vacation, etc. and have all the necessary medication and information available for proper medical treatments, as well as reduce the likelihood of inadvertent medication mix-ups.
With reference to FIG. 8 , prescription bottle storage unit 10 may include a top or cover 24 which may be raised to expose a chamber 26 disposed in and formed by sides 22 of holder 20. Cover 24 may be suitably hinged along one edge to a top edge of one of sides 22. An opposite side edge of cover 24 may be provided with a suitable lock for releasably securing cover 24 to a top edge of side 22 and covering chamber 26.
As shown in FIG. 9 , disposed in the chamber of the holder may be a removable plastic insulated liner or container 28 to prevent leakage of, for example ice packs, and to provide easy access to items that may be stored in the chamber. For example, insulin may be easily stored in the insulated container along with the ice pack. Other items such as a diabetes case and accessories could also be stored in the central core area as well.
With reference again to FIG. 1 , a handle 29 may be disposed along an upper portion of the prescription bottle storage unit for lifting the prescription bottle storage unit. In one embodiment, the handle may have a medical cross-shaped configuration and may include the name of the person corresponding to the prescription pill bottles held in the holder. In addition, the handle may be used to rotate the holder. From the present description, any other handles and shapes may be suitably employed. For example, a strap such as a fabric strap may be employed. A person's name may be disposed or woven into the fabric strap.
In addition, rotatable stand 70 or means for rotating the holder may be disposed along the bottom of the holder. The rotatable stand may be supportable on a level or horizontal surface such as a table or counter so that the holder is rotatable a full 360 degrees. The rotatable stand may include any suitable rotating or pivoting member.
In another aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10 , a prescription bottle storage unit 110 may include a movable pull out drawer 180 which may be incorporated into the stand. In another aspect of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 11 , a prescription bottle storage unit 210 may include a movable pull out drawer 280 which may be incorporated into the sides of the holder. The pull-out drawer section may allow for storage of weekly/monthly pill dispensers and/or other items such as magnifying lenses, eye glasses, etc. The front of the drawer may have a handle such as a recessed handle or an opening to allow a user to easily open the drawer. It is appreciated that other suitable handles may be employed.
From the present description, it will be appreciated that the sides of the holder may have more or less than four sides for holding the prescriptions pill bottles, and the sides may be assembled from separate pieces, or may be formed as an integral monolithic structure. In addition, the sides need not be solid but can have openings therethrough. Further, the holder may have any suitable shape and configuration for holding the prescription pill bottles as described above. The supports may include a curved bottom surface or other surface such as angled surfaces for supporting typically cylindrical or square prescription pill bottles. Further, other structured and disposed supports may be employed which horizontally support the prescription pill bottles on the holder. For example, an elastic strap or a pair of elastic straps may be employed for horizontally supporting a prescription pill bottle on the holder while allowing a user to observe and read a label disposed on an outwardly-extending side portion of the prescription pill bottle.
As best shown in FIG. 13 , center compartment 310 of medical organizer case 300 defines a chamber for receiving and storing prescription bottle storage unit 10 therein such as when transporting the prescription bottle storage unit. Center compartment 310 is sized and configured for receiving and tightly surrounding and fitting around prescription bottle storage unit 10 so that the prescription bottle storage unit does not move around or topple over and to inhibit the pill bottles from disengaging from the supports when contained in the center compartment, for example, during transport. Front pouch 370 may be disposed on the front of the center compartment and include a flap 378. The front pouch may hold a personal calendar for appointments, a small cardstock card for frequently called numbers (doctors, family members, pharmacies and Rx refill numbers), and a small business card holder (box) for appointment cards and/or health insurance card, etc. Hook-and- loop fasteners 375 and 377 may be employed for releasably closing flap 378.
With reference to FIG. 14 , the right-hand side compartment 350 may hold a medical binder 355 and/or other items.
With reference still to FIG. 14 , the left-hand side compartment 330 may open to the side and may include a plurality of elastic straps 332 located therein for holding, for example, prescription pill bottles 334, and a water bottle 335 with a built-in cup to put pills in before taking with a drink from the cup. Netting 336 and/or elastic straps may be used for loose items and other pill bottles (liquid), etc., that do not fit into storage unit. The left-hand side compartment may also be large enough for receiving and holding other medical supplies.
With reference again to FIG. 12 , the medical organizer case may also include a sewn in pouch 315 with plastic covering for name tag and address.
A decorative cover may be provided for the prescription bottle storage unit when the prescription bottle storage unit is disposed on a counter at a home. A pill checklist for use when filling monthly/weekly pill dispenser which may be easily wiped-off when medications change may also be included.
In addition, each side compartment may be detachable. For example, if a person didn't want to take the binder or the right-hand side compartment he/she could just remove that compartment and carry the other two. The cases may be attachable with, for examples, hook-and-loop fasteners or suitable releasable locking means. Each removable compartment may have a separate carrying handle or a built-in handle. In addition, a medical organizer case may only include a single chamber for containing a prescription bottle storage unit.
From the present description, it will be appreciated that if a person is unconscious, or in any other way incapacitated, to relay information to an emergency room doctor about his/her doctor's names, medicines he/she is on, past medical history etc., the storage unit/case of the present invention will help medical personnel to assist the patient, even if family members are present and do not know the information themselves. Also, storage unit/case of the present invention provides all the information for medical personnel especially when it is difficult to relay information under stressful situations, such as an emergency room visit, when time was of the essence.
The storage unit/case/binder allows family members to stay with the patient and need not answer questions from doctors/nurses, because the doctors and/or medical personnel can go through the unit and binder independently to extract relevant medical information.
If medical personnel go to a home where a person lives alone, or if family members are not present to assist in relaying medical information, the storage unit/case/binder would have all the vital information in it. The medical binder in side compartment 350 may also contain business cards with phone and fax numbers of all doctors, medical history, medication lists, emergency family contact phone numbers, living will, power of attorney, DNR's etc.
The case can be locked or stored in a locked area with medications to reduce the misuse/accidental ingestion of medicines by young children and/or theft of the medication by older children.
Thus, while various embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be appreciated to those skilled in the art that many changes and modifications may be made thereunto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
